Expressing your milk? Formula feeding? When did your little one start holding a bottle on his or her own, without needing the bottle to be propped or supported in any way? “A baby can usually do this well from about eight months – some earlier, some later. Of course, Baby shouldn’t lie flat and drink from a bottle, as the milk may dribble into his inner ear and cause irritation and possibly inflammation. Also, being held by Mom or Dad while feeding helps ensure that Baby gets the all-important emotional component of milk-meals too.” – Sister Lilian
